of Pu Ru, Fang secretly helped Pu to sell a lot of his works while
storing the proceeds in Fang’s bank account. Pu was also a frequent
visitor to Fang’s apartment on Quanzhou Street.As the two held a close
relationship, Fang had a large collection of some of Pu Ru’s finest works.

本收藏多件溥儒作品原為方震五收藏。方震五，溥儒門生及摯友，
兩人在臺灣時期過從頗密，獲贈溥氏作品良多。《溥心畬傳》記
述，方氏常幫心畬暗中賣書畫，存在方震五處的私蓄支應。溥儒也
把泉州街的方寓，作為消磨時光的好去處。可見二人交情非同一
般，藉此方震五所藏溥儒作品多精。
